GLIDE TACKLE

Something that has always stimulated me is developing ideas in terms of tackle, to get the best possible gear in accordance with fishing conditions. When I met Francesco at Glide Tackle we immediately had a good vibe. He’s a passionate lure builder who introduced some innovative systems to build lures and obtain ultra resistance on futuristic kinds of lures and tackle, and I’m a fisherman who likes to fish in the most remote and fishy areas of the world chasing GT and any sort of species in various conditions, from deep water and big currents in Socotra to the reefs of the Red Sea. That are a lot of different fishing conditions to work with, so we started to develop our ideas.

In my opinion, our first big achievement has been to develop what I consider the best GT popper on the market, and for a few good reasons: it works perfectly, it’s very stable, it makes a lot of
noise and it’s absolutely undestroyable! Especially in the super sexy carbon coating, and in fact,
we got GT up to 152 cm with it.

The carbon fighting belt is probably by far the best popping and Jigging belt on the market with only 300 grams of weight and a shape that allows you to pull hard. We also tested it on Bluefin Tuna, while the others were using huge and heavy belts, we got fish up to 120 kg with this little gem without any issues. Ergonomics works perfectly, the belt is fixed in the middle and there is no sliding on the side, or up, it's just made to make your fishing, but also your traveling( because of the weight ), more enjoyable. 

In general, the lure selection is essential but it’s all you need for any kind of fishing, the latest model added to the collection is the new Pelagic sinking stick bait which is small and heavy but also swims great and they are a real killer for any bluewater fish, and not
only that. Everything takes them. 

Our last effort is to develop a great big floating stick bait which is currently under testing and
will be ready in 2024, while the smaller models are already smashing it.
